I love to code, and share knowledge.
May they / she / he beware;
today feels urgent as always
but only because we hope and work for a tomorrow.
I work for peace, I work for justice, I work for progress.

Today feels urgent as always but only because we hope and work for a tomorrow.
I work for peace, I work for justice, I work for progress.
This space is not for me. It is for my children, and if time allows, for their children. So that when they look back they can recognize something precise: that despite systemic bias, despite hardship, despite the noise โ I remained relevant. Not famous. Not funded. But present, and pointing in the right direction.
Technologically relevant is a specific claim and I want to be specific about it. Not relevant because I followed the current. Relevant because something older than the current guided the choices. A trans-generational intuition, the kind that comes from people who learned survival before they learned comfort, combined with what I believe was sound rationalism: the instinct to bet early on Scheme, on ordered key-value stores, on the comprehensible over the convenient. Those bets were right. I wish they had landed with more impact โ on the craft, and on my life. That is an honest thing to say.
I didn't arrive at this alone. Family held the space. The communities I passed through โ some still alive, some dispersed โ taught me that the work was possible before I could prove it. That is not a small thing.
Vision matters โ this bears repeating. Not as comfort. As precision instrument. Vision is what makes refusal legible. Without it refusal is just stubbornness.
None of this is finished. It will never be finished. That is not failure. That is the nature of the work.
If success comes it will be a short moment โ between the bitterness that precedes it and the forgetting that follows. Notice that moment. Enjoy it fully. Then return to work.
